Taking Advise From Myself


from the ABC set Poetry

Follow me, she said,
The way is easy -
There is a constant light,
This path is soft to the step
She said, this way
To the painless life -
And I believed each word
Because I was young
And I had done
Nothing wrong
And it seemed
A marvellous idea
Back when days were long,
This simple, uncomplicated
Fraudulent song.
